Bump love,Thanks for this . I lost my husband 6 months ago and I am.trying to find my rhythm to raise 3 sons aged 7, 5 and 2 years. please bring a lady who has raised boys alone to pick some lessons for some of us

Clearly this man went through alot. While he spoke i saw so many of my relatives in this picture now i understand most had mental issues especially the extreme hallucinations and outburst. Unfortunately people think this is normal yet its not.

Thanks to Joseph for sharing, his story is opening about mental health. I also knew his wife ,she did amazing landscape work for our company, people still stop by our offices to ask who did for us our landscaping, may she rest in peace and God always be with her family

My brother is is at Entebbe lakeside nursing schizophrenia and I agree with Joseph,it is the most debilitating situation anyone can experience in Life.he can't feed himself as I text and it's very scary. This time its 1000times more intense because he Lost his job. The good thing is that he accepts that he's I'll and takes his medication. As a family, we believe In the God of psalms 103.3. Joseph, continue comforting more people like us through sharing your story. I have learnt some nursing tips today

Had to advertise for this so that people watch it, coz mental health is quite an isolated issue by many of the people we live with 😢

Thanks for sharing your story Joseph.. it must have been incredibly difficult.. i didn't know there were only 53 psychiatrists in Uganda.. that's ridiculously low..i will return some day and add to the number 🙂

I've watched this conversation 3 times, kept on rewinding to make sure am listening carefully. 😢

We really need more doctors who understand mental health. It's so real especially after birth for women. Mental Therapy after birth should be complusory as antinetal. We go through a lot as women and the stress is just so much. But if we haven't yet reached there, prayer, uplifting music and God's word can help overcome. But truly our gyns should have phycytrist close

Thank you for hosting Joseph Bump Love. I like the fact that he is so calm and collected. He has heavily researched this topic, controlled the narrative and using his painful experience to inspire others. Kudos.

This was a reality check meanwhile😢......I got a moment to think through some deep realities of this world.......in case of my death, how it will ever be for my children and their dad😢?

Joseph I wish you peace It can never be easy without your partner around but there is so much to be grateful for, your three lovely boys

When he said it all and then turned on living with hope using the scripture wow,thank you.... it's not always good to isolate yourself because you give the devil time to distract you.

My Heart Goes to Joseph and the sons, but he's not alone in the boat, me too i lost my dearest husband a (man of my youth)in 2014 sep in accident, i was 24yrs and he left me with 3 girls aged 4yrs 2 yrs and 3 months...But we'll thank our Almighty Father in Heaven and our spiritual parents/church for being there for me. Now am planning to get married again in Jesus's Name Amen 🙏🏼❤

Dear bump love... Thank you for sharing about mental health....as someone with a brother who is battling depression....I sympathise with Joseph...mental health is real...

Oh Joseph very sorry to hear about your wife's passing,God strengthen you,take it a day at a time,it is also OK for you to cry it out..I know in Africa they say men shouldn't cry but its therapeutical..praying for you and your boys..Jacqueline May (uk)

Like it when a man tells his story

We appreciate you, Joseph. Wishing you courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to hold in your heart forever.

This is the second time hearing Joseph's story very emotional 😢its and it was for my first time at man cave ug is cried the whole section just thank God that he has made him brave and I pray he keeps him plus the boys stronger 🙏

This was a two-in-one show. I learnt a lot about mental health and grief. Thank you Joseph for sharing with us.

As one who's had to grieve the loss of a mum, battle anxiety and depression and as one who's found my identity in the word of God, this episode resonated with me on every level! And am so sorry about your loss Joseph. Manuela's hair is just givingggggg!!!

The other problem with schizophrenia is that the victim/patient is that they r usually very intelligent so getting them to see a professional is a tag of war

I knew the family but u cudnt tell they had this sort problem. RIP Synai. Keep strong Joseph. And big up Bump love for all the series.

Rosette that dress 🥰l love the confidence go girl👏🤗 the sky is the limit

Thanks bump love for bring this gentleman. I lost a brother to mental illness he also succumbed suicidal death. People need more awareness about mental health, I wish I knew earlier at least I would have understood his pain😭

My heart is pumping 😢sorry for the loss may Allah make u more stronger

Whoa!what a profound episode,it's so refreshing to see that we as a pple(Africans/Ugans) are beginning to comprehend the issue that is Mental Health. Knowledge is power & the more we know, the better we shall be able to save lives. Maya Angelou, "When u know better, u do better." The guest...sir, ma sympathies to u & ya family & thank u for sharing ya story. This spacious venue with the lighting so agrees with the ladies who all look very gorgeous. Every episode has a standout star & Racheal was it for me on this one. Bump Love continues to deliver & we are here for it!❤ 👏

So much of an eye opener here, thanks bump love

I cried😢. God be with him

Mr Ajal is such a wonderful Father. We were blessed to have the boys come to our pre school and he was such an inspiring dad.

I have really learnt alot from this gentleman. May God preserve you.

Thank you bump love for this segment it has been useful to most of us

Can we all share this video... I lost a friend to bipolar..we were so ignorant about it.. people begun to judge him when he begun to react using drugs and Alcohol having come from a Christian background .. we lost him after a short illness and that's when we learned about bipolar.. UpTo now not many people know about mental illness the way you have explained it😢..

Wow, such a beautiful episode. Thank you for sharing this story. Y'all are giving us back to back wisdom in these episodes. Blessings

U have no idea how this episode has been a blessing to some of us. Love you so much ladies and many thanks to Joseph for sharing his story with us. Blessings.

this was worth watching. Thanks bump love

My heart goes to Joseph and his family. Thank you for being brave and educating us about mental illness. And thank you Bumplove hosts for bringing such important conversations to the forefront.

This is educative and informative thank you ladies for this!!!

Thank you Joseph for sharing, sending comfort, and courage from above to you and your boys. and thanks to Bump Love for giving you this moment.

Thank you Joseph for the testimony. Mental illness is real!

Thanks so much for this conversation. As a person who has gone through mental disorders without proper guidance or help . I know the pain and confusion , that one is going through , you can explain it to any body . On a daily you have boad meetings in your head . Its like you have people leaving with you inside your brain . You are a happy soul around so many people but when you are alone , you are in pain . I can go on and on but thanks alot

Am early bird today much Love to you ladies from me Happy Eid day to every Muslim brothers and sisters who love and watch bump love

Thank you Bump Love for this very insightful show. Mr Ajal, thank you for baring your soul to us. We continue to pray for comfort for you, your boys and the rest of the family.

Yessssss therapy is very important

Thank you for this segment. Loss is a terrible thing, pain is pain, you people. I used to think I was strong and it will go away but oh Lord, it will come back, you can not suppress it forever. I lost my mum at 11 years, suppressed it, and was just too busy to deal with it. Lost my best friend right before the pandemic and let us say God carried me through. I have had all these things before I ever knew what they were, sweating feet and palms and being extremely anxious like off the edge scared for every and overthinking things like my family getting old and dying imagine, hyperventilating, having panic attacks, etc. I wish people would exercise daily, eat well daily and go to therapy even without major issues, like just having a better lifestyle. It helps in the long run. Being rooted in God and also staying off drugs and alcohol or anything that alters the brain chemicals. God healed me, therapy helped as well, and I am better now.

Wow, a really beautiful episode, thank you Joseph,!

Ooo very insightful. May God continue to comfort and strengthen Joseph and family. Thank you Joseph for sharing your life with us. There's much to learn

Oooh my this is a very touching story. Thank you Joseph😢. I wish I could share my story as well about mental health as a youth, it has taken many youths 😢

My prayers to you Joseph and your family, only God will surely uphold you through the overwhelming pain and storms. I was doing my postgraduate Research in Psychosocial Rehabilitation: psychoeducation for families of patients with Schizophrenia when I found your video. I had never understood the extreme of Schizophrenia until then even though I worked with client with mental illnesses. I have suffered from depression, anxiety and panic attacks. We all need to support one another as mental anyone by promoting awareness and destigmatisation with empathy. God bless you for sharing

Thank so much Bumplove for this episode as it was so educative.

Wow..thx Joseph for sharing. May the Lord keep upholding you

Thanks for sharing. Many people are in denial about mental health.

Thank you Joseph for opening up about this very sensitive and very sad topic that you have shared with us.

Thank you for this episode. My daughter who is about 5yrs old just lost her best friend last week. I feel so sad for her but she seems to understand the whole concept of death at her age. She was actually the one comforting us and telling us to stop crying while in the church service. May her friend's soul rest in peace.

Very insightful discussion. Thx Joseph for sharing. Angie is so smart

This is so educative alot to learn from this episode Again thanks bump 💕

Thanks for show bump and Joseph for sharing . I await to share my journey with raising a premature

OMG 😱. this was really touching and educative.. everyone needs this information

Thank you ladies for bringing us Joseph! He’s brave.

Great show. Thank you for inviting a great guest. Thank you to the hosts for allowing the guest to speak freely and it has been very informative

Thanks a lot, Bump love, thanks for hosting Joseph Ajal and indeed we needed that information.

What a very educative episode. Bipolar disorder and schizophrenia are very familiar conditions. One of my parents has had that since we were kids and boy or boy!

Wow thanks guys for this episode

Helo bump love am relating to this story, i just lost my best friend who was also my neighbour she collapsed in the birth room due to blood clot which was triggered by high blood pressure that was triggered by stress, we buried her on 31/dec/2022. by 2nd Jan 2023 the husband was reporting to work after his boss had denied him leave , the man kept breaking down while at work until a2 weeks after when he decided to resign because the boss was stressing and remind him every day that there are so many people who would want to take up his job , this guy is now jobless he only goes out of the house when he going to look for jobs after he goes inside and closes himself inside , the guys is losing weight on daily basis every time you see he looks different he moves while holding his trousers coz they can't fit him anymore, am scared we might lose another soul to stress very soon ,am sure him getting someone professional like that Gentle man to talk to will help and also he is a driver anyone with a job can also him so that he keeps his mind occupied .. i will be waiting for the response from bump love and everyone thanks..

Very educative and informative.Thank you Joseph for sharing. Bravo Bump Love

That was very insightful. I have learnt alot.

Sorry for your loss Joseph, May Her Soul Rest In Peace!

Very touching story. May God continue strengthening you and give you more grace and wisdom to Father the boys Joseph. Blessings Many thanks Bumplove for this episode.

Thanks for the episode it was insightful

The 53 psychiatrists in the country is actually sad and true. Anyway, there is a programme now sponsoring doctors for Masters in Psychiatry at Makerere. A ray of hope I guess. Though our country has a long way to go. God bless you Ladies and Joseph too.

Thank you Joseph for sharing . May the good Lord keep strengthening you and the boys . And for the bump love ladies,Thanx for all that you do . I really enjoy the show . May the good Lord bless you . Pumla we missed you on the show

This episode is really educative . Thank you very much ladies. I actually think I myself need help too

Very sad but to make matters worse is that society will see this as a traditional war(ebyekiika) and as a spiritual warfare for the religious...by the time the few families in most cases get to know that mental health is the issue..it's usually a bit late...God bless this man for even speaking about his own story because our society is still oblivious about these things...

Thank you for the message it's an eye opener

Bambi, he is strong, I mean I don't think I can be that strong after one year. When Rachael asked about the ''grieving question'', I thought he is going to break down.

I had chills the whole time. So sorry for your loss

This has truly been insightful.

Very informative,thank you ladies and gentleman

Bump love you have grown onto me and i have been binge watching your channel. From Kenya

All other factors of this topic held constant, you ladies look GOOOOODDD. Wish🥰♥️

Thanks for the show ladies ❤ very informative and educative But Racheal looked so cute

Thanks so much , this was so educative

Wow Mr Joseph thank you so much for educationing us today. thank you so much ladies for bringing him on the show wow 👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Woooohoooo! Joseph, thanks so much for bearing your soul and sharing this. Much much needed and very timely. Mental disorders are so common in our societies and very few families are willing to submit. Praying for you to completely heal. Jesus. @Bump Love, loved the show and handling the sensitive topic. However, we didn’t get a chance to have Joseph to introduce himself elaborately at the beginning so that we know more about him and his partner before all this happened. That said… fabulous job. We need more of these.

Schizophrenia is the worst i saw my mum going through the worst days of her life because of it. Only God has kept her until now its been 17years of her struggling with it. Me i am confident God heals all diseases🙏🙏 My mum is not on medication but she is living much better than before. Schizophrenia is sooo bad we need more awareness for mental health

This was heavy😢. And thanks am never doing weed or indulge in alcohol

So sorry about your loss Joseph. May God keep you and your boys strong🙏

So sad Lossing your beloved one 😢may her soul rest in peace

Having lost one of my twin daughter.. I can relate coz the support system is always a backbone... Despite my challenges during pregnancy en at 6months knowing that one twin wouldn't make it after delivery. My family, friends, and workmates would always tell me to live one day at a time till I gave birth. By God's grace I pulled thru' though life has never been the same

Seeing your dear one go through tough times is heartbreaking. Story not different from our own. Lost my follower, Dropia Consolate Samanya (RIP) last year October 11th. Had several complications; bipolar disorder, PCOS, had started developing fats on her kidneys. I still cry, smile every morning as I pass her grave while going for work, think about her and regain hope and faith. We choose to celebrate her as a family. She started having episodes of bipolar in 2012 and diagnosis was in 2020 during COVID-19 lockdown that triggered another episode but from day one, Butabika was our hospital. We chose to love her, care for her and look out for any symptoms before any episodes. Unfortunately, most of us don't understand and still disagree about the various concepts on mental health. Still, some people are so insensitive when you loose your own. Comments like; you no longer pray, why didn't you take her to so and so, why did you take long to rush her to the hospital, I wish she had given birth to a child so that she leaves a memory 🙄🙄. Just keep quiet when you sit next to a person who is grieving. But friends, neighbors OGs and OBs did a great send off of my dear sis🙏🏽🙏🏽. Sorry for your loss, Joseph.

Joseph thanx for the elaborative information about mental health it's quite eye opening, I wish u all the best in single parenting.

Here again happily watching love you rossete

Very helpful. Thank you

Angie is looking great. Joseph has a great story..

eeeee maama Rachel is glowing allooooooo.anyways thanks bump love team,this was a HOT,sad educative episode

So beautiful. please consider this being the usual set. The lighting and video set is just ecstatic. lots of love from Germany 🇩🇪❤ ladies.

In 2019 march immediately after giving birth to my child, my husband travelled back to his country to work after 3 years of not travelling after a brain surgery. I asked him to please not go but he insisted on going. Covid hit and he couldn't travel back. We used to talk on a daily basis. Then this 31st December 2020, he wasn't picking, got scared, I called his lawyer and she went to his house only to find him dead in his bathroom. My world broke, here I am, with a new born and 2 others, food became my friend, I got confused, cried most of the time. But God has been good. It will be his birthday on 18th May, and I don't think this pain heals. Some days are really hard but God gives me grace.

Ono Yozefu ayogera ku balina ku ttooke. Osanga omuntu yafiriddwa spouse ewaka tewali mmere,abaana balina okugenda ku ssomero mbu ate counseling and therapy. We need someone to speak from a common man's point of view. Njogera ku muntu wa wansi. However, thank God he's getting stronger

Thanks for this information.

Oh dear… may God continue to carry through
